Enjoyable
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Quite an enjoyable read. I picked this up because, as someone who trades commodities electronically and has never visited an exchange, I was interested to read what it's like. This book does a good job of describing it. It gives me a better idea of what goes on "behind the scenes." Perhaps subconsciously this may even help my trading. I would recommend this book.
Changed My Life
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I read this book when I was about 19 years old and it changed my life. I had no idea what a trader was or what they did. ( I only knew what Stock Brokers did) This book eventually lead me to New York where I actually called Stanley Katz and started working on the AMEX as a market maker clerk. This book is exactly what it says. All the feel of what it's like to be a trader are in here as well as a little history of the various exchanges. My copy is a closely held favorite with various signatures from several people in the book.
